Chapter 159
"Hmph. One versus two—no, one versus three really isn't easy. As Natsuki said, the Sound Four's strength is nothing to scoff at. And this is them without activating their cursed seals. If they do... I might be in trouble."
Kakashi silently assessed the situation as he pushed up his forehead protector to reveal the Sharingan.
He also instinctively touched the chakra battery strapped to his arm. If he ran low on chakra, he could activate it at any time. Though he hadn't stored much over the past few days, it was still enough to sustain a prolonged fight.
Kidomaru kept launching webs, but Kakashi easily evaded them.
In fact, he deliberately moved in the direction of Sakon and Ukon, causing them to get entangled in the webs more than once and steadily losing their patience.
After being caught by another strand, Sakon exploded in rage. "Kidomaru, you bastard! Either come fight or stop spitting out that sticky crap! If you mess me up again, I'll kill you first!"
But Kidomaru wasn't fazed and even mocked him. "I'll web however I like. What's it to you? Clearly, your skills are just too low. He dodges easily, you can't. Why don't you go help Tayuya or Jirōbō? I've got this. You're just in the way."
"You little—!"
"Come at me then! Let's go!"
Kakashi watched the argument unfold with an inward sigh of relief.
Keep fighting. I'll wait. Whether you two finish arguing or actually fight, it just gives me time.
He kept an eye on Sasuke and Shino's battles. Clearly, both of them were holding their own well. With no need to worry about them, Kakashi preferred to conserve strength and wait until one of them finished their fight before lending support.
